Champion Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 30.1% to 34.1% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages of around 31.4%. The school's test scores are also generally lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels and subjects.

Despite spending more per student ($12,654 in 2023-2024) compared to the nearby schools, which have spending ranging from $9,383 to $11,477 per student, Champion Elementary is not achieving the same level of academic success, suggesting the need to re-evaluate how the school allocates its resources to better support student learning and address the unique challenges faced by its student population.
